i kind of dont agree for example i think everyone can relate to the track “what are the chances of that like” because everyone has been so low that they think they can go on but on the other hand i do agree with the fact that its the worst album as of yet but as a true fan im still going to rinse all the tracks lol also i think it is ok if mitchell bros rise up cus i also love them just as much nearly as much as i love example

Ah man I just picked up this album and I have to say I’m a bit disappointed and this is coming from a huuuuge streets fan. I loved the previous albums because they sounded fresh and new, wicked garage beats mixed with awesome storytelling and entertaining lyrics but none of that is found on the new album. Maybe Skinner grew out of this scene and passed the torch to kids like Dizzee Rascal and the Mitchell bros but it’s not what I’m looking forward to hear. Don’t get me wrong, the album is very well produced and I think that Skinner’s flow might have even improved a bit but overall it sounds more like a 70’s gospel/funky mixdown with almost too much of “good vibrations” going on or something. I always thought that Skinner’s power lies in his storytelling, when he talks about how his missus left him, it brings a lump in your throat. When he’s talking about how he goes to the cashmachine and it gives him “insufficient funds” I can really relate to what he’s saying. This album on the other hand doesn’t relate to me at all. I’m glad I bought it though, even if it was only to make my “collection” complete. But I’m afraid that none of the tracks on this album will draw people to the stores to pick it off the shelve. Thanks for reading, peace.
